Zinc metal can be obtained from zinc oxide (ZnO) by reacting the oxide with the element
carbon. The products of the reaction are Zn
and CO2. What mass of zinc oxide is needed
to react completely with 4.81 mol of carbon?
Answer in units of g

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Achemist who studies water samples did a demonstration of how to test for lead in water. she added a clear solution of potassium iodide to a clear solution of lead nitrate. then a yellow swirling solid formed in the liquid. what is most likely true about the yellow solid?
